I agree with a lot that Joyce says, but I think she's dead wrong here. The GOP have been reading Trump just fine all along.. it's the DEMs that have been staring at a train speeding toward them, for years, and pretending the train is going to stop, or turn and go somewhere else.. and here we are.

Badenoch really is a fucking star isn't she. Her first policy after months as leader and it 1) directly contradict her own stated values.2) raises all sorts of practical nightmares and 3) is morally reprehensible. Full marks.

2019-2024: £44bn lost to fraud in UK Govt depts under the Tories - often run by members now in Badenoch's Shadow Cabinet.

Contracts for cronies, PPE procurement, COVID loans & furlough scheme, Eat Out to Help Out, R&D tax credits.

Ministers ignored concerns. Who is called to account?
Kemi Badenoch's top team ran departments that gave £20k a minute to fraudsters
New analysis reveals that since 2019, over £44 billion of taxpayer money was lost to fraud in departments under the Tories - often while they were run by members of Ms Badenoch's Shadow Cabinet

Chris Philps says Brits need to improve their work ethic. Perhaps he should tell that to the Tory MPs who didn't show up in parliament for a year, or spent weeks doing celebrity television shows or lecture tours of the US, while drawing a full parliamentary salary.

England water firms push for higher shareholder returns.

NO. They picked customer pockets for years, paid high dividends, neglected investment.

They charged for sewage disposal, dumped it in rivers. Customers due a refund.

Let them go bust. Nationalise.

Today, the valley where I live has withdrawn from the world, and we won't be coming out until May. Get rid of Farage, heal the UK, give Wales and Scotland their independence, rejoin the EU, and we might emerge earlier.

This week the Guardian's owner, the Scott Trust, gifted the 233-year-old Observer to Tortoise Media.

This isn't just a dark day for journalism, it's a sign.

Meet the team.

This is Putin giving Tortoise's energy advisory board member an 'Order of Friendship' medal in 2017.

In 1888, under the “Wales” section of the Encyclopaedia Britannica it simply read: “See England”.
